3 Songs: On Repeat

Gauntlet Hair – “Human Nature” (The Chicago based duo of drummer Craig Nice and singer/guitarist Andy R. create a moody goth-driven post-punk sound that recalls both the poppier side of Joy Division and the destructive industrial sound of Nine Inch Nails on their stellar new album, Stills, out now on Dead Oceans.) http://gauntlethair.net/

Adam Franklin & Bolts Of Melody – “Boocat Leah” (Adam Franklin of 90’s alt-rock band Swervedriver now creates shaded 60’s-inspired psych-rock with cinematic touches and his trademark guitar style on, Black Horses, his second album with the Bolts Of Melody.The experimental new album was released this week via Goodnight Records.) http://www.adamfranklin.com/

Don Peris – “Electrostar” (The guitarist of indie-pop band The Innocence Mission recently released The Old Century, his fourth solo instrumental album and third released by instrumental imprint Jemez Mountain Records.Using only guitars, his vivid and sometimes atmospheric soundscapes feature dulcet, lullaby-like tones with melodic moments that are both spiritual and soothing, stoking the imagination.) http://www.donperis.com/
